"Re: Microsoft EULA and Virtualization
The XP EULA does not say anything for or against Virtualization, they only started mentioning Virtualization specifically with the advent of Vista.

Having worked at the product activation centre myself, we activated OEM copies virtualized within the same computer all the time. So long as it literally stays on the same computer (doesn't matter on how many partitions, or hard drives, or virtualized versions, note: this is for XP only)

The Vista eula specifically states (for Home Premium/Basic):

USE WITH VIRTUALIZATION TECHNOLOGIES. Instead of using the software directly on the licensed device, you may install and use the software within only one virtual (or otherwise emulated) hardware system on the licensed device. When used in a virtualized environment, content protected by digital rights management technology, BitLocker or any full volume disk drive encryption technology may not be as secure as protected content not in a virtualized environment. You should comply with all domestic and international laws that apply to such protected content.

The point of virtualization is so that the hardware stays separate from the software (so the virtual machine is isolated and invulnerable, and what stays on it does not get spread to the host machine, so it will definitely ask for activation."
